early mornings. late nights. no naps. anybody's bound to fizzle. but once you twist this top, your day changes. tired human being, meet lightening in a bottle. energy, with b vitamins, caffeine and guarana keeps going where others fall flat. so you stop when you choose to. usually in the winner's circle. zing.

natural caffeine
caffeine is a natural stimulant that has been shown to increase alertness, improve concentration, and reduce fatigue. caffeine also enhances physical performance and endurance during prolonged exercise; to a lesser extent, caffeine improves high-intensity athletic performance in the short term.
guarana
guarana (paullinia cupana) is a natural botanical substance with a long history of usage as a stimulant by residents of the amazonian basin. a recent study found that healthy, young volunteers given guarana performed better on cognitive tasks involving speed of attention and memory compared to subjects given a placebo.
vitamin c (ascorbic acid)
vitamin c is involved in energy generation in muscle and other cells because it is required for the synthesis of carnitine - a compound necessary for the transportation of fatty acids into mitochondria where they are oxidized to generate adenosine triphosphate (atp), the energy currency of the body. human subjects fed vitamin c deficient diets have been shown to experience fatigue.
vitamin b3 (niacin)
vitamin b3 is a water soluble vitamin that plays an integral role in energy metabolism. niacin is a component of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (nad) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (nadp), two coenzymes necessary for the conversion of carbohydrates to energy for use by muscle and other tissues.
vitamin b5 (pantothenic acid)
vitamin b5 is a water soluble vitamin necessary for the body to generate energy from dietary components. this vitamin is required for the synthesis of coenzyme a (coa) which plays a central role in fatty acid and energy metabolism. coa combines with oxaloacetic acid to form citric acid in the first step of the tricarboxylic acid (krebs) cycle. the krebs cycle is instrumental in the generation of energy for use by muscle and other tissues.
vitamin b6 (pyridoxine)
vitamin b6 is an essential compound for amino acid metabolism and is required for the synthesis of heme, the core component of hemoglobin. hemoglobin is the molecule in red blood cells that transports oxygen to the muscle and other body tissues for use in aerobic energy utilization.
